Former National Security Adviser (NSA), Gen. Aliyu Gusau, on Friday hosted agitators from the North Central geopolitical zone seeking a power shift to the region in the 2027 general elections.
Prof. K’sto Nghargbu, led the group who after meeting with Gen. Gusau, met with the Onah of Abaji, His Royal Highness Alhaji Musa Baba Yunusa on Saturday.
Senator John Danboyi also hosted the group.
Prof. Nghargbu, who disclosed this in a statement on Saturday said the movement urged the North Central Renaissance Movement, to consult all critical stakeholders to ensure that the region gets the position of president or vice president in the next dispensation.
Nghargbu said, “The zone (North Central) has suffered great political setback since the post-independence and return to democracy in 1999 through denial of president and vice president slots.”
“We appeal for the cooperation of all Nigerians to make the agitation a reality and put the zone in the equation of other zones who have enjoyed the constitutional right of producing president and vice president in Nigeria.
“The zone has what it takes to lead rather than to be led all the times, and the future should begin with the 2027 federal political arrangement.”
